Wine Wednesday 6/24/2020 For today’s Wine Wednesday we’ll be travelling to the northern part of Italy in the region of Valpolicella, where Amarone reigns. Producer: (Giuseppe) Quintarelli ... Region: Amarone della Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy The Quintarelli family has been around Northern Italy for almost 100 years now. Giuseppe’s father Silvio purchased land in the Valpolicella region shortly after World War I, where he then established the Quintarelli Estate. It wasn’t until the 1950’s that Giuseppe starting working on the estate and turning it into what it is today. For 60 years, Giuseppe Quintarelli dominated in producing rich and concentrated wines in Valpolicella working with a number of different varietals: Corvina, Nebbiolo, Croatina, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano. Their top end wines such as their Amarone della Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva, & Valpolicella Classico Superiore don’t get produced in unsuccessful vintages, which makes their wines even that more special. Their wines require tons of patience to reach their maximum potential, aging for 6-8 years before they’re released. But when they do release, they’re ready to drink right away. Unfortunately, in 2012 Giussepe passed away at the age of 84 passing down the torch to his daughter Fiorenza, her husband Giampaolo and their 2 grandchildren. They continue to carry on the Quintarelli legacy and produce unparalleled Italian wines. #wine #italianwines #amarone #quintarelli #redwine #italy #wineshop #winecollector See more

Wine Wednesday! 6/17/2020 For today’s Wine Wednesday we’ll be highlighting a producer from the high hills of southern Mendocino County. ... Producer: Halcon Vineyards Region: Yorkville Highlands, Mendocino County, California Owners Paul and Jackie Gordon have always been long time lovers of Northern Rhone wines. Specifically, those that are grown in Cote-Rôtie. Not so long ago, they decided they wanted to purchases some property to plant and grow vines on to produce wines of their own. They ended up finding a gorgeous property nestled up in the Yorkville Highlands of Mendocino County sitting around 2,500ft elevation (making it one of the highest vineyards in California). From there they planted 15 acres of Syrah facing west towards the Pacific Ocean. The vineyard sees a lot of windy days and pure sunlight as it sits high above the fog line, which in the end produces concentrated yet elegant blue fruit driven, cool climate Syrah. We’ve been very fortunate here at No Limit to offer these affordable and delicious wines out all thanks to the amazing duo who brought Halcon to life, Paul & Jackie Gordon. Cheers! #redwine #syrah #mendocino #winecountry #californiawine #coolclimatewines #wineshop #winecollector #nolimitfinewines See more

Monday Mystery Bottle As avid wine lovers, tasting wines blind and trying to figure out exactly what varietal, region, and price range the wine falls under is true thrill for us. Because we love the element of surprise, we've created a fun game called The Monday Mystery Bottle.... We're going to describe a wine in as little but informational detail as possible and it's going to be your job to try and guess what the wine is and what region it’s from with only 3 hints. (And if you feel like you’re an expert, try and guess the producer as well) Are you ready? Hint 1: I am a lighter bodied wine that is grown mostly in Northern California and is very popular in another wine region in Europe. Hint 2: The region I’m from is predominantly known for growing me. And the name of the region has to do with a body of a water. Hint 3: I pair very well with these meats: Chicken, Duck, Salmon, & Lamb Bonus Hint : My producer has been growing grapes for over 60 years and they are recognized from all over the world for their 2 main highly accoladed varietals. #wine #winebottles #mysterywine #californiawine #winetasting #blindtasting See more

Wine Wednesday! 6/10/2020 For today’s Wine Wednesday we’re highlighting another incredible producer from our backyard here in Sonoma County. ... Producer: Walter Hansel Winery Region: Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California Walter Hansel was known as a fruit farmer here in Sonoma County. In the 70’s he planted half an ace of Chardonnay and made 2 barrels of it every year for the next 10 years for him and his family to drink. It wasn’t until one year with the help of Russian River Valley legend Tom Rochioli, that the wine truly stood out. Walter’s son Stephen saw what Tom was doing with growing grapes and making wine and wanted to jump on board and fully dive into that world. Fast forward almost 40 years and Walter Hansel has made its name for Pinot Noir & Chardonnays in Russian River Valley. They farm 80 acres of vineyards with 6 different clones of Pinot Noir & 7 Chardonnay clones. Their case production sits between 500-800 cases per wine, per vintage. The style that Walter Hansel wines embody are that of those coming from Burgundy. Elegant and austere and made to enjoy with food. (PS: These wines are very affordable as well ranging from $20-$50) Cheers! #wine #redwine #whitewine #pinotnoir #chardonnay #russianrivervalley #walterhansel #californiawine #winetasting #winecollector #wineshop #nolimitfinewines See more
